Mac OS X Update 10.2.4 Resets

Posted by pudge on from the only-on-the-west-coast dept.

Oculus Habent writes "It may just be me, but 10.2.4 reset a number of settings on my computer, including icon sizes, window positions, and dock size and contents. Minor annoyances, but completely unnecessary. Is anyone else experiencing this?" As for me, Apple re-added some apps to my Dock and overwrote all my changes to httpd.conf (though it did back it up first) to add mod_rendezvous_apple. But those problems pale in comparison to some others: Anonymous Coward writes "If you upgraded your Mac desktop to 10.2.4 last weekend, check your date and time. Many users have suddenly found it to be 4:00 PM, December 31, 1969 again. Apparently, this happens whenever they are shut down or restarted, and resetting the motherboard and/or the PRAM doesn't fix it. Complaints have been piling up at Apple.com and prices for batteries have been skyrocketing - but relax. It's not your battery!"

    Complaints have been piling up at Apple.com and prices for batteries have been skyrocketing - but relax. It's not your battery! I'm willing to bet this is a conspiracy by apple to make money selling batteries to the customers who are dumb enough to believe it is really worth $20. Their whole business plan is focused around tricking morons into buying overpriced crap. Example: They charge $400 for 512mb of PC2700, even though crucial is selling the same damn thing for $79 after shipping. THAT's 400% PRICE INFLATION!!!

    Your basing my intelligence on my grammar and spelling?! I wrote quickly because I actually have a job using my computer. I do not have time to sit around and wax on in geek-talk or spell check my forum posts. I'm busy running a very successful multimedia business. I am currently working for IBM and Autodesk. What are you doing besides playing with yourself?

    You really are a dip shit. This just proves my point. Mindless drivel from a weak mindless dork. Your not funny at all. Go back to your cave and play Quake.
